# Code of Conduct
We want a productive happy community that can welcome new ideas, improve every
process every year, and foster collaboration between individuals with differing
needs, interests and skills.
We gain strength from diversity, and actively seek participation from those who
enhance it. This code of conduct exists to ensure that diverse groups
collaborate to mutual advantage and enjoyment. We will challenge prejudice that
could jeopardise the participation of any person in the community.
The Code of Conduct governs how we behave in public or in private whenever the
Linux community will be judged by our actions. We expect it to be honoured by
everyone who represents the community officially or informally, claims
affiliation or participates directly. It applies to activities online or
offline.
We invite anybody to participate. Our community is open.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the GTALUG Code of
Conduct please contact the GTALUG Board @ board(a)gtalug.org
Folks,
As many of you have noticed, GTALUG's mailings and website were down
since Dec 17th. This was the result of the operations/executive failing
to act in a timely manner after Chris's passing. A payment was missed,
and our server was shutdown by the hosting provider.
Over the holidays an attempt was made to recover the account, but we
came under the mistaken impression that the server had been deleted.
And so we focused our efforts on recovering DNS and establishing a new
server from our regular backups.
We have great thanks to express to Hugh Redelmeier. A steadfast
volunteer and contributor of our community. Uncoordinated with the
board, he reached out our provider and offered to pay the bill.
Successful by-passing our misunderstandings, hotfixing the situation,
and bringing us back on-line. He will be compensated for an out of
pocket costs.
Speaking personally, these are hard times. I as I've returned to help
bridge the gap from Chris's passing, I've found to many functions and
knowledge and pool in to few people and was not being effectively taught
to new contributors.
We failed to get enough visibility into our areas of risk.
We failed to effectively communicate with our community via our other
social media channels about our situation.
I'm personally working with the current board to full on-board our
lastest board members. Establish handbooks for the various functions and
roles.
In the past, the board was just the voting head of a rotating group of
some 10-15 individuals that contributed and attended the executive
meetings. If you want help spread the load, or be involved in how the
group functions. Please see and consider joining the operations mailing
list.

Executive / Board Meetings have always, and continue to be open to
attendance from our community.
